Looking around the world, it seems that it has become a trend for women to hold the highest power in a country.
Germany has Chancellor Merkel, Brazil has President Rousseff (currently suspended by impeachment), Argentina has President Cristina, South Korea has President Park Geun-hye, and of course the one across the Taiwan Strait that cannot be mentioned. In addition, this year's US election is very likely to elect the first female president in US history. In the future, the world may not only be "half the sky", but it is very likely that women will really rule the world.
A friend who studies the Book of Changes once joked that if things go on like this, our great masters will definitely become "political commissars" of the Detachment of Women when they participate in international conferences in the future. But he said very seriously, this does not represent the victory of women's rights, but it shows that after a long period of peace in the world, women are more and more advantageous in competition, and the power of femininity in the world is getting stronger and stronger, but it is strong enough There is a time when the masculine force is bound to rebound, and that is when the unrest begins.
Regardless of whether this statement is true or not. Women are like a queen bee or an ant in the human social organizational structure. Because of blood inheritance, they naturally have the ability to organize human groups. In the past historical process, the status of women did not seem to be high, but there were often women who surpassed the men in the family as grandmothers and mothers of the family, and became the outstanding leaders behind the male protagonists, or just the leaders. For example, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom (1819-1901) used her own blood as a link to become the grandmother of the whole of Europe, and her death also led to the inevitability of the First World War.
Therefore, in the history of human beings, it is not uncommon for women to gain the status of heroines with their unique abilities and charms.
The 2015 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and Oscar-nominated film "Joey Fighting" recreates the story of how a woman became a "Queen Bee".
All of the crises that Joey faces right from the start.
On the male side, the power of masculinity is severely lacking in the family. Joey's father, Rudy, was a voluptuous, "drone" who planted seeds everywhere. Joey is his child with a second wife, but the second wife is not his last wife. Rudy runs a rundown repair shop and spends his little money on dates. Ex-husband Tony considers himself a musician. As a Hispanic, Tony is good at singing and dancing. Two years ago, he "won" Joey with a song, and then gave him two children, a girl and a boy. It's just that once the musical genius has the burden of his family, he is decadent and incompetent. Not only can't he write songs, he can't make money for his children's milk powder, but he can also boast that Joey's nagging hinders his talent - it seems that men with "talents" make excuses for failure. So they divorced. Although divorced, Tony lived in the basement of Joey's house, and Rudy was kicked out by his Nth girlfriend, so he had to live in the basement too. The two incompetent men dislike each other, but both still have to accept Joey's relief.
In terms of women, family women continue to be attached to men and appear powerless. Joey's mother was heartbroken over her divorce from Rudy, stayed in her room to watch soap operas and refused to go out, and refused to let men into her room - the above sentence represents nearly two decades. Joey's half-sister is the supervisor of the Ludi factory. She has been dealing with workers for a long time. She even dresses like a man. She is not married and has children. A child who always instills self-righteous views on his nephews.
Joey is struggling to live with his children and daughters in this way. He is not the head of the family, but bears the burden of the family. She worked various jobs and earned various meager incomes, barely supporting the family building from collapsing. Only her elderly grandmother supported and understood her. The former "Queen Bee" of this family firmly believes that Joey is the next "Queen Bee" of the family and will definitely save the whole family. In addition to having a whimsical head and practical hands, Joey really can't see the hope of saving the family, and even she can't see the hope of saving herself.
Fortunately, she never despaired, never doubted her own brain and hands.
Once cleaned up with a mop, she finally had to wring out the dirty mop with her hands, and the glass stubble caught in the mop scratched her hands with blood. She wanted a mop that didn't require two hands to wring out.
Then she had a dream in which she said to Joey now that she was ingenious as a child, "Just think, we've been hiding for 17 years. For 17 years, we're not creating anything. What's wrong? Because of you Hidden. You're really safe in hiding because people can't see you. But the problem with hiding is, you're running away from yourself!"
Yes, you're running away from yourself!
Joey woke up no longer waiting. She drew sketches, went to her father's repair shop, and told the workers to create a "magic mop" from her sketches. Then went to apply for a patent, then persuaded father's rich new girlfriend to invest, and then produced more "magic mops", then sold it all over the place until it was on the TV shopping channel, then sold tens of thousands, and then wisely rejected the father And the stupid business tactics of her sister, and then defeated the upstream supplier who deceived her and possessed her patents, and then became the opponent of the former partner, established her own shopping company, owned hundreds of patents, and became the most outstanding woman in the United States. One of the businessmen...
Everyone's failure is a failure for a different reason,
but everyone's success is a success for the same reason.
On Joey's road to success, what hindered her not only came from outside, but also from within the family. As her father, he never believed in her abilities and never really supported her. On the contrary, when she encountered difficulties, it was her father who was the first to speak badly. Maybe this is out of a father's instinct to protect his children, but it is the parents who are good at protection who never realize that their children have become eagles that can fight the sky.
Being Joey's older sister is also an important force hindering her success. Just like a well-known person outside, in the eyes of his childhood friends or people from his hometown, he is always a mortal. why? because of jealousy. It is difficult for human beings to see the ability beyond ordinary people from the people they meet every day. Even if time proves this "superpower", because of jealousy, they have to try to prove that this "superpower" also exists in themselves. This is the case with Joey's sister. She first refused to believe that Joey could succeed, and after Joey's success, she also created her own success in the name of Joey everywhere, but Joey, who was almost bankrupt, went bankrupt.
Therefore, success must do one thing: the six parents do not recognize.
Because family is both protection and restraint; safety is insurance and escape. Not only do you not recognize your relatives, but you also do not recognize the negative side of yourself - and this "me" who always seems aggrieved is the closest person. To deny mediocrity is to break free from the shackles of ego. With tenacity, Joey finally achieved success. Even if this kind of success offends relatives, it ultimately proves that this kind of success actually shelters all relatives. Joey successfully fulfilled his grandmother's prophecy, became the "Queen Bee" of the family, and became a heroine who looked down on all living beings.
Yes, if there are only six relatives who do not recognize it, it can only be regarded as arrogance, and perseverance is the decisive factor to become a heroine.
Also in the feminist American drama "Game of Thrones", the most successful heroine, Daenerys Targaryen, was almost equal to a female slave at first, but she never thought she was a dragon queen like her brother Viserys. people. She accepts her own destiny seriously, survives perseveringly in the alien race, learns the alien language with perseverance, makes the alien husband fall in love with her, and slowly refines in the betrayal and separation after her husband's death, and finally becomes the entire Eastern Continent. Conqueror and Queen. This is no longer just a feminist saga, but a saga of human willpower.
Of course, you would say that these are all film and television dramas, that the screenwriter's idealism is at fault, and it's just a bowl of thick chicken soup for the soul. Because of this, the author does not tell the legend of women from fictional films such as "Game of Thrones". The film "Struggling Joey" that is the mainstay of this review is based on the true legend of the famous American businesswoman Joey Mangano, so you can't say it's just a simple ideal.
Yes, it's the first time I've heard this person's name, but that doesn't stop me from admiring this remarkable woman. Just as the author not only praised the deliciousness of "Laoganma" chili sauce, but also praised "Laoganma" Tao Huabi, a famous female entrepreneur. Like other women, they also have a youth full of fantasy, a marriage full of disillusionment, and a life that begins to go downhill once they have children. But these do not prevent them from truly pushing away the obstacles around them - and these obstacles are much greater than those encountered by men, especially the abandonment of vulgar family affection - and then, with extraordinary perseverance, eventually become a business enterprise leadership, and even the leadership of a country. Eventually, with her feminine charm, she became a "queen bee" admired by a family, a company or a country.
This is true feminism, and this is not only feminism, because it is the light of human nature, even a man will worship it. Because women at this time will no longer be "materialized", they are neither priceless jewels, nor dead fish eyes, but a person who exudes the light of humanity.
